HE is not guilty! he is not guiltyr'
Hearing this exclamation, and seeing
him point to his cheek, Suarez remem-
bered that he had a large scar on his
own, from a saber wound he received
years before; and when the witness
gained his composure he proceeded to
identify Suarez as the man who came
to his house with quantity of money,
on the evening of the supposed murder.
and asserted that the prisoner could be
noise other than the supposed victim of
brutal violence.
But the body found in the canal-had
it scar like Suarez's on the cheek?
No-the witness who found it remem-
bered it had not. Hope dawned ON
Suarez warmly enough. He was called
on for his defense. and told his tale
simply and composedly. and his heart
beat calmly.
The Judge summed up briefly and
directed the jury, as usual. that if there
was any doubt, the prisoner should be
entitled to the benefit of it. The jury
obeyed the direction of the Judge, and
the verdict of mot guilty" alone af-
forded Suarez the melancholy satisfac-
ton of relating to the writer sufferings
not to be found among the destinies of
any other man in the world.
Some ill-natured people. notwith-
standing the verdict, still believed
Suarez to be guilty, but the majority
called him innocent; and while the
newspapers were zealously arguing pro
and con the question, he quietly slipped
off to this country. and is now living
in tolerable ease in Brooklyn, and no
one has ever since ventured to dispute
with him whether he is dead or alive

When the young people go to church
the day after the wedding. they are met
at the church door by group of masked
figures who surround them, singing and
hooting. and playfully endcavor to sepa-
rate the young matron from her hus-
band. If they succeed in so doing. then
he must win her back in hand-to-hand
fight with his adveisaries, or else he
must give piece of money as her
ransom. In general it is considered .
bad omen for the married life of the
young couple if the wife be separated
from her husband on this occasion;
therefore it is customary for the young
husband to take his stand close by the
church door while his wife is praying
within, and then be ready to catch hold
of her as soon as she steps outside. For
greater precaution, the man often holds
her round the waist with both hands
during the dance which Immediately
takes place before the church, and at
which they assist merely as spectators,
taking no active part, as it is not con-
sidered seemly to dance in the church
attire.
As commonly several couples are
married at the same time, it is usual
for each separate wedding-party to
bring its own band of music. and dance
thus independently of the others. On
the occasion of triple wedding lately
witnessed, it was very amusing to
watch the three wedding-parties COM

its pace till it came to be sort Of race
up to the church-door to secure the
best dancing-place. The ground being
rough and slanting, there was only one
spot where any thing like fiat danc-
ing-foor could be obtained, and the
winning party at once secured this en-
viable position, while the others had to

longing to each wedding-party are

out the first group; "Walzerr roars
the second, for it is point of honor
that each party should display noble
independence in taking its own line Of
action; and il, out of mere coincidence,
two of the bands happen to strike up
the self-same tune, one Of them is sure

witness saw him dead, and the body

was contrary to common sense, and
would, of course, be looked upon as the
desperate attempt of the hardened
